pulons against beating arm,or fines as a consequence, should not, at (he beginning of a new era of political history, be lost tight of. It is equally as correct to impose penalties upon one denomination of christians as another, for religious scruples there being no test of opinions but they ought to be avoided as to any ; when no injury would accrue to the public, under a complete equality, 81 freedom from a conscience tax. An act approved January 22d, 1329, giving relief to purchasers of out lots in Indianapolis, has prudently received a construction by the Agent of the state, as to the payment of back interest for lots never forfeited, which never could have been the intention of the Legislature'. The Agent doubting as to the true construction, tho't it best to err on the lafe side, receive the imprest, and refer the question to the Legislature for an explanatory act. The time was extended for payment, by the said act, before the forfeiture of the lots, or any right was vested in the state, by the original agreement, to demand interest. If in

terest should be demanded, when there ras wither a forfeiture under the first agreement, nor under the law giving further time, the debtor would be placed in a worse situation th hi if no relief law had been passed ; for all would have paid up before the indulgence given by the law and saved the payment of the first four years interest, in preference to taking the 22 months indulgence by the said law, and then be compelled to pay interest for five years and ten months. The interest ought to be funded. , .The situation of the treasury is as follows, to-wit: amount of assessments for 1330, $41,117 76 -estimated deduction for delinquencies commission, mileage and advertising, 7,500 00, deducted, leaving $33,617 76 for the treasury, which will probably be paid this winter, including 3,846 22, already paid. There is now in the treasury from all sources, 33,789 d3, which, added to the balance yet to be received of this year's assessments will make $63,57147. The amount on hand is subject to the following claim'', viz: outstanding warrants, 265 04 j'Hiciary claims not audited, 2.275 00 prosecutors, 208 70 speciti. appropriation, 360 00 qiartr master general; 12 00 piobate judge" estimate, 1 ,--500 00 canal furH. 15,806 69 -lndi anapolio fund, 6,765 65 rt!ii lins, $56! 85 m kmg in nil. 27,749 43 leaving lor the. trea?ur ihv ensuing year, 35,812 04, ftr setting apart the said claim. T e demand upon this sum for the l"gislatiw expense, printing, judiciary, specific appropriations, x?cuive,' contingencies and militia, sUte'prison and wolf scalp?, and probat judges, may amount to 33,000 00 -leaving in the treuo lRt Dmer 1831, about 2,800 00 apar from what may then paid of th rveude of that year. this exhibit, we see, that our present revenue law, will provide ahuodant means hereafter, for the commoo and necessary purposes of the government. And the anticipated new subjects of taxation, being constantly on the increase, you may in a short tim, without some extraordinary call upon the finances, reduce the people's burdens. Be you well assured, gentlemen, that it will be my pride, as it will be my ambition, to aid you in every thing, which, either directly or remotely, shall promise any fruits for good to our mutual constituents. As we shall all sooner or later return to the honorable sta tions of private citizens, to feel the Uws which we may enact, we have a com munity of interest with them, to exer-( cise caution, that nothing is done amiss.

We understand that the small pox has been introduced into Brookvillein this state- . The Ohio river has been rising for a few days past, and is in good navigable order Ohio. The legislature of Ohio met at Columbus on the 6th inst. In the Senate, Mr. S. R. Miller wa9 elected speaker on. the 15th ballot, and Mr. Larwill clerk. n the house of representatives, J M. Bell was elected speaker on the 2d ballot, and J. L. Green clerk. The speaker and clerk in the Senate are Jncksonians; in the house they are eaid to be opposition We have been favored by S. Recs, esq. with a copy of governor Trimble's message to the legislature. It is a short, plain, practical, common sense document, unencumbered with superfluous or argumentive matter; yet containing all required by the public intenest, or the duties of his station. Through the politeness of Mr. Hendricks of the U. S. Senate, and the editors of the National Republican, we have received copies of the President's Message, in advance of the Washington papers; but owing to its length and the late period in the week at whirhit was received, we are unable to publish it to-day. Our readers may rxpectiteo soon as our limits will permit. Alabama. On the 17th Nov. the house of representatives of the state of Alabama passed a resolution, by a vote of 64 to 6, approving of the measures of the present administration, and nominating Andrew Jackson for re-elaction as president. After the adoption of this resolution another one whs offered and adopted, approbating, in the highest terms, the president's veto on the Maysville road bill. We notice these things, not because we recognize a right in the legislature to say who shall and who shall not be supported for otiice; but because they form ah item in the signs of the times, clearly indicating to our mind the determination of the people to re-elect president Jackson at the end of his present term. Missouri. We perceive by the Louisville Advertiser that Col. Alexander Buckner lias been elected United States' Senator from this stale, in place of "Little Red," alias David Barton, the '"'spouuding and 'gplaiuing" champion of tite Clay party. Two candidates were run, Col. Buckner and gov. Miller both decided friends of the administration. The vote was for Buckner 34, for Miller 27, and 2 scattering. The friends of Mr. Barton very prudently concluded to spare his feelings, by not offering him as u. candidate Mississirn. We learn from the Mississippi Advocate,that George Poindexter has been elected United States' Senator from that state. The legislature met at Jackson on the 15th Nov. and the election for Senator took place on the 1 Sth. The vote was for PoindexCer 41 for Child 6. Kentucky. The legislature of this state met at Frankfort on the 6th inst. Mr. Crittenden, a friend of Mr. Clay, whs elected speaker without any regular opposition. This circumstance has cheered the drooping spirits of the opposition exceedingly, and set them to blowing about their strength in Kentucky. They had better be moderate in their joy, until they see the result of a vote for United States Senator. The Louisville Advertiser, m noticing the election of speaker, makes the following remark: "We atill antic pate the election of a Jackson Senator. We know we have not been deceived as to the number of pledged members; and that with their votes, faitnfutly given in obedience to the will of their constituents, the friends of the adtnmistrat on cannot be defeated in the choice of Senator." We learn from the Opelousas La. Gazette that the sugar crop in that state this season, will, in many districts, exceed that of any former year. This is particularly the case on the low lands and wet soil, where it was observed that the long drought greatly increased the size of the cane and sweetness of the juice; while it had a contrary effect on the high lands. There the cane grew small and short, affording little juice, but superior iu sweetness to that of other seasons.

Message again'. Vc owe our readers an apology for taxing their patience with a 30 column message, in prospect. We were led into the error by common report, and a knowledge of the superficial area orcupied by our governor in political afftiis. The supposition that his excellency had a particular object in view in noticing the affiirs of Europe, seems equally erroneous; as he concluded his communi

cation without recommending any meaeuie calculated in the least to disturb our Foreign relations. Taking the whole me9?age together, we are at a loss to determine whether it merits the serious consideration of an executive communication. To say it has no merits, would be doing injustice to the official dignity and supposed intelligence of his excellency. Bat on the other hand to say it is such a communication as ought to come (rem a Governor of a state, would, in our opinion, be a greater outrage on truth than we should be willing to commit. Stript of a few good and wholesome paragraphs, the balance is a mass of visionary and unintelligible ideas, no more coming within the circle of executive duty, or demanded for legislative action, than a desertation upon tbe planetary system, or on the influence of the moon over the tide of the ocean. That part of the message where his excellency makes one of his digressions for opinion's sake where he talks about "unau'horized bodies," "latitude," "a late Kentucky Senator," &c. is as devoid of common sense," as it is indecorous and imprudent. What have our legislature to do with a Kentuky Senator, or what do the ppople of Indiana care for the prating of Governor Hay, about "qualification" and "principle," when all examples show that he possesses little of the one, and practices lees on the other. Should our opinion in regard to this part of the m?s?Hge be Considered illiberal or incorrect, we shall feel ourselves bound to mike the amende honorable; but first we shall insist on on "explanatory act in regard to it. It seems to us a little surprising that, in the compass of so long a communication, his excellency has not or.ee alluded to hi "codification commensurate with the multifarious concerns of the nation." This cherished darling of his excellency's fostering care, was seen struggling for more enlnrged existence through three successive messages. Where is it now, that it cometh not forth as a cloud by day and as a pillar of fire by night, to guide and direct he erring footsteps of the good people of Indiana, in their passage through the defiles and mazy labyrinths of the law? Has its body gone down to the tomb of the Capulets, and its spirit winged its flicht to the shores of "magnificent oblivion;" or does some foul friend hold both in "durance vile?" We wish to know something in regard to this important matter, in behalf of the people. The official statement of votes given for governor in Ohio, as just published, shows M'Arthur's majority to be 4G9. For M'Arthur 49668, for Lucas 49196, scattering 240. 18L28, Mr. Trimble, the Adams candidate for governor, beat Mr. Campbell, Jacksonian, by a majority of over 2000; now the Clay candidate, though possessing great personal popularity, comes into the office with a majority of 4C9 out of nearly 1 00,000 votes Will the friends of Mr. Clay exult at this result, or longer claim the vote of Ohio for their favorite? New fafer. We have received the first No. of the "Columbus Chronicle," printed in Bartholomew co. Ind. by Latvson L. Duncan. The Chronicle gives promise of usefulness, and will, probably, be neutral in politics. A newspaper is about to be established at Fort Wayne in this state. We have received, through the Indiana Journil, the proceedings in both houses of assembly for the three first days of the session. It will be seen by the extracts below that little business, other than the appointment of committees, the introduction of some resolutions, had been 'ransacted. Several ineffectual motions had been made to fix the time for electing a United States1 Senator and the judges in several circuits, whose terms of service will expire before the next session. These elections, it was expected, would take place this week. IN SENATE. DEC. 7. The following standing committees were appointed by the president: Committee on Election. Messrs.

Mr. Lemon offered for adoption the following resolution: HetalveJ, That the Judiciary committee be

instructed to report a joint resolution to the Congress of the United States, praying the pas. sage of a law to extinguish the Indian title to lands, and providing for their removal beyond the Mississippi ; which was laid on the table. Mr. Gregory introduced a joint resolution of the General Assembly, authorizing the compilation and revision of the statute laws of this state; which passed to a second reading. Mr. Ewing offered the following as an amendment: Resslvd, That the Judiciary committee be instructed to inquir into the expediency ofap pointing three'suiUble persons, acquainted wuu the laws of the state and competent to the duty, to revise, collate, and d.gest the same and the British enactments in force of a permanent nature, so that the different acts and enactments of a similar nature may stand consolidated and divested of all unless or redundant verbiage with power to submit to the Legislature all contradictory commissions or imperfections, discovered by or known to the revisors; that our Code may be thus rendered more simple, plain and perfect, with leave to report by b:ll or otherwise. Winch was laid on the table. Der 9. On motion of Mr. Linton, llesoteed.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Dec. 7. A petition was presented by Mr. Holman, from sundry citizens of Saint Joseph county, praying a Memorial to Congress for a donation of land for the purpose of constructing a road from Lawrenceburgh to the Southern bend of the St. Josephs; which was read and referred io a select committee, consisting of Messrs. Holman, Pollock, Wallace of F. Hoover, llankins, and Semans.

lace cf J., Wallace of F., Herod, and Kinney. A resolution offered yesterday byMr. Armstrong and laid on the table, on the subject of amending the 12tk section of the act defining the duties of recorders, was taken up and adopted. DIED On Wednesday,morning, the 15tb inst. at his residence in this place, of a paralysis, Mr. JOHN GXUSOI7, formerly of Philadelphia, in the 59ih year of his age. He has been a citizen of this place for the last ten years; during which period, he vas esteemed, as a valuable member of the community ; exercising, on all proper occasions, those offices of benevoience and christian charity, which is caJj culated to endear man to his fellow-raan, to heighten the joys of social life, and to strengthen the enduring ties of brotherly love. His loss to his family and friends is irreparable; but their cup of affliction is sweetened with the fond assurance, that he died in the full fruition of that hope which lies beyond the tomb. 'Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, for they shall rest from their labors and their works do follow them." Statesman.
